Hosted by the City of New Westminster and the Anvil Centre, this half-day symposium is a part of Innovation Week with the theme of "Transportation/Mobilities." Livable Cities will feature various disciplinary approaches, including architecture, community development, transportation, and socio-cultural issues to explore livability. As an emergent urban community, New Westminster presents a unique opportunity to engage with city planning strategies, urban densification, and the impact of innovation on local urban environments.

3:30-5:30 pm: Poster Presentations "Movement and Mobilities," Anvil Centre 4th floor foyer accompanied with coffee and snacks.
